Fort Loudon >> Two people have been displaced after a fire in a two-story home at 10406 Lincoln Way West around 10:15 a.m. on Saturday.

The fire most likely began in the basement, according to Fire Chief Dale Carbaugh of Mercersburg Montgomery Peters and Warren Volunteer Fire Department, and the two individuals who live in the home were not in the house when the fire started.

No injuries were reported and the fire marshal is investigating.

Carbaugh said the fire was concentrated on the first floor and extended a little into the second story.

"There was heavy smoke pushing out of the windows when we came up," Carbaugh said.

The house is "not livable," he said, but believes that with work it can be salvaged.

Carbaugh said the fire was knocked out in about 15 minutes.

Among the fire departments that responded were Franklin Fire Department, St. Thomas Fire and Rescue, and the Franklin County Air Unit.
